Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 03, 2020

Elvis, in all his glory, telling it like it is! THAT’S THE DEAL PERIOD!

Elvis wears socks?

I agree with Lupin. Why is Puck worried? Now Lupin on the other hand might have good reason to worry.

Elvis, make it a new pair of slippers instead of socks and I’d be happy.

Elvis is mommy’s special boy! He can’t go wrong.

I think Santa grades on the curve, or better yet, averages your current behavior against your past behavior. You’ll probably be okay, Lupin. (But good behavior until Christmas wouldn’t hurt. Final impressions before sleigh packing, you know.)

Wow! Elvis sure went from perfectly calm to full of rage in no time flat. Why?

Elvis has no need to worry. Nor does Puck. Nor Goldie.

Good boys worry that they might have done something that was not as good as it could have been. Bad boys know that they have been bad and are proud of it.

Xmas gifting rule: something you wear, something you need, something you read, something you want. Where is his something he wants?

I read somewhere recently that most kids hate getting books as much as they hate getting underwear for Christmas. Books were always one of my favorite presents.

I love Lupin’s horrified face in panel one. He knows he is the baddest boy in the Big Pink House! That song has been the WORST!

Oooo Santa, you don’t want to piss off Elvis—he’s a lean, mean Siamese you cannot pleeeeeze! :D You better watch out!

It is amusing. I have to remember that most of these cats have been brought together because they were… on some level… a problem case. Lupin – deaf. A danger to himself and others… in a way. Puck – missing a limb. Like human adoptions… people want perfect kids only. Goldie – feral. The need a special kind of love and care… many do not have the patience. Elvis – aggressive. So… it is funny. Out of all the cats… he is not worried about being Bad or Good. AND he knows he will get a gift!

So……..

Elvis is only good because he gets socks, tea, and a book each year? That’s some deal he brokered with Santa-Cat ;-)

Good morning everyone.

If Father Christmas doesn’t produce the presents Elvis deserves, he will be doomed.

And then he’ll hide the socks with the rest of his collection.

OT – Marzipan Stollen

What kind of tea, Elvis?

Panel 2 Elvis.

That is all.

It’s so, so good.

It’s the Small Bear’s birthday today. I’ve have to hide her present away as the cat is intent on unwrapping it. Being the world’s worst gift wrapper it took me ages to get it done. As she’s been good all year, I have to do it again for her Christmas presents. I’m expecting to find Monty kitten covered in styicky tape.

The rare, the amazing – Elvis toe beans!

Whoa, did anyone put three shots of espresso in Elvis’s coffee today?

Book’em, Danno.

If you wanna stay in business you better do what Elvis says, Santa.

Looks like Lupin and Elvis are about to get on the “naughty list.” You can see a slightly poofy Elvis with his brown Siamese cat socks! The question is, what flavor ice cream is that?

I liked the first three panels. The “punchline” didn’t work for me.

Lupin sure is stressed. I wonder why?

Jolly Old St. Nicholas, Elvis Style

Jolly old Saint Nicholas lean your ear this way

You always know what I want, every Christmas Day

Christmas Eve is coming soon now, we’ve had all or fun

Don’t forget my dearest friends, bring gifts to each one!

…….

Puck is always good, you know, even in his sleep,

Though he gets the zoomies and Lupin likes to leap,

Goldie doesn’t realize that she needs to make an apology,

But she’s still a real good girl, you can surely see!

…….

And you know I’m as good as gold, bring me many gifts!

A pair of socks, a box of tea, a book that uplifts!

And like Mary Poppins says, I would like to say,

I am also perfect, too, in each and every way!

OT. Yen

The problem with some songs and sayings for kids is that the kids can be so literal and can latch onto things the parents don’t even think twice about. My Dad would always tuck us in and then say “sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite”. An old saying from the time when mattresses were supported by ropes stretched across the bed frame, “sleep tight”, and bed bugs were a common reality. He never knew until I casually mentioned it years later that I would hop out of bed, search for bugs, and only when I was sure there weren’t any, go to sleep. Poor man was devastated to think he had so alarmed his little one.

I thought Siamese cats came with built-in socks?

Actually, since cats sleep about 20 hours a day, and they can’t be bad while they’re sleeping, I’d have to say they’re good most of the time. So they probably are on Santa’s good list and all cats get presents!

That’s a completely new, totally anguished look on Lupin! Also, OMCFs x 2! [Open Mouth Cat Fangs]. And Elvis toe beans to top it all off.

One of the best strips for my birthday today :D

Good in her sleep:

Happy Birthday Chant05x

Oh, the worry inside is frightful

Wrecks a season so delightful

And since you don’t seem to know, you’re all

Good to go, head to toe, let it go

O Cat, fears don’t show signs of abatin’

When you should be celebratin’

Your hopes are turned way down low

You should know, worry blows, let it go

When it’s finally Christmas, you’ll see

You will love checking under the tree

And then, you’re really filled with glee

All the day where you’ll be so merry

So your fears are quickly bye-ing

And, dear cats, believe us, we’re not lying

As long as Santa loves you so

Let it go, Elvis knows, he’s a pro

Leave a gyro, and some joe, quid pro quo

Santa’s show, let’s all go: yo ho ho!

(Jule Styne / Sammy Cahn – Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!)

Again I am a human version of Elvis.

But what about the time puck swore revenge on the robber mice?

I have to say, I definitely like elvis’s present choice, a nice box of tea, a book, and (looks) a pair of socks, everything you need to be comfortable during the current winter season, but this does mean that we need something like Christmas every month to survive.

I always heard that if you don’t believe in Santa Claus, you get socks and underwear for Christmas.

Today is:

International Day of Persons with Disabilities: Not all disabilities, even physical ones, are visible. I don’t mind the term “handicapped,” (and I’m not even a golfer). I hate being called “handy-capable.”

*National Apple Pie Day (Two): Yes, there are two such days. “As American as Apple Pie” … It figures that apples originate in Asia, most likely China. “As American as an import from China” doesn’t quite have the same panache.

National Roof Over Your Head Day: Greatly appreciated by all feral cats, feline or otherwise.

National Green Bean Casserole Day: Waddaya mean! We just barely finished the last one!

Make a Gift Day: Hurry! Only twenty-two more construction days until Christmas. ’Tis the season to be frantic!/Fa-la-la-la, la-la, la … AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!

Let’s Hug Day: A hug, virtual or otherwise, is also a gift. So a virtual hug to all of you in difficulties of one sort or another.

crazy pets go over christmas’s tree all time !they those thing on tree are kitty’s toys and dogs think going to pee on !

In panel one – Lupin’s misdeeds from the past year flash through his mind.

What I want for xmas is a Lego Mario set.

Would love some good thoughts our way today please! Continued:

Elvis wears socks?

Or are they little pink socksh?

I think Santa gives cats a pass on being good and our kitty friends will get lots of presents!

I have a memory problem :) I hate to admit I can’t remember who published a book and it is on Amazon to purchase. Can someone send me the info?? Many Thanks!

You’re always a good enough boy, Puck!

Threatening Santa. Not a wise idea. Never threaten the jolly old fat man in the red suit and white beard. That just begging to be put on the naughty list.

I should mention that I have a print, from several years ago, showing Elvis with his paws in full getting-ready-to-punch mode, standing by a Christmas stocking full of coals and saying defiantly, “IT WAS WORTH IT.” I only put it up at Christmas, but you know, just sayin ;-)

Oh Pucky, you’re the bestest cat ever! Same for Lupin, Elvis and Goldie!

i like getting books, and right now im reading lord of the flies, which im liking so far

Made a Walmart run a couple of hours ago and found Fudge Covered Mint Oreos, the closest thing we have now to the late, great Mystic Mints. MMs always used Oreos for the cookie part (I know this because I was a curious kid and very good at licking off the fudge covering without damaging the cookie), and the FCM Oreos taste pretty much the same to me. The only real difference is that MMs had white mint cream filling, and the filling in the Oreos is green.

Ah, but what if the deal has changed, ELVIS?!?

Books are my FAVORITE presents
